Thank you for visiting the Tenmeido website.

We aim to make sweets that make everyone smile by having them enjoy safe and delicious sweets.
Starting with a product lineup closely related to the Kumamoto / Kawashiri area, we offer original sweets that are not bound by Japanese or Western styles.
I am studying every day. There is also a coffee shop where you can relax when you pass by.
